Ἒの説明
Greek orthography has used a variety of diacritics starting in the Hellenistic period. The more complex polytonic orthography (Greek: πολυτονικό σύστημα γραφής, romanized: polytonikó sýstīma grafī́s), which includes five diacritics, notates Ancient Greek phonology. The simpler monotonic orthography (Greek: μονοτονικό σύστημα γραφής, romanized: monotonikó sýstīma grafīs), introduced in 1982, corresponds to Modern Greek phonology, and requires only two diacritics.
Polytonic orthography (from Ancient Greek πολύς (polýs) 'much, many', and τόνος (tónos) 'accent') is the standard system for Ancient Greek and Medieval Greek. The acute accent (´), the circumflex (ˆ), and the grave accent (`) indicate different kinds of pitch accent. The rough breathing (῾) indicates the presence of the /h/ sound before a letter, while the smooth breathing (᾿) indicates the absence of /h/.
Since in Modern Greek the pitch accent has been replaced by a dynamic accent (stress), and /h/ was lost, most polytonic diacritics have no phonetic significance, and merely reveal the underlying Ancient Greek etymology.
Monotonic orthography (from Ancient Greek μόνος (mónos) 'single', and τόνος (tónos) 'accent') is the standard system for Modern Greek. It retains two diacritics: a single accent or tonos (΄) that indicates stress, and the diaeresis ( ¨ ), which usually indicates a hiatus but occasionally indicates a diphthong: compare modern Greek παϊδάκια (/paiðakia/, "lamb chops"), with a diphthong, and παιδάκια (/peˈðakia/, "little children") with a simple vowel. A tonos and a diaeresis can be combined on a single vowel to indicate a stressed vowel after a hiatus, as in the verb ταΐζω (/taˈizo/, "I feed").
Although it is not a diacritic, the hypodiastole (comma) has in a similar way the function of a sound-changing diacritic in a handful of Greek words, principally distinguishing ό,τι (ó,ti, "whatever") from ότι (óti, "that").[出典:Wikipedia]
Ἒの文字を使った例文
Ἒ is a fascinating letter in the Greek alphabet, often overlooked but steeped in history and meaning. The letter itself is shaped like a reversed E, with a horizontal line connecting the two verticals. Some speculate that it represents the horns of a bull, while others believe it signifies a place of meeting or a symbol of unity. In Greek, Ἒ is pronounced as "eh" and is written in all caps as ΕΙ. It's not a vowel, nor a consonant, but rather a combination of the two. In ancient Greek, it was used to indicate a long "e" sound, much like the English word "see." Today, it's mainly used as a capitalization marker in modern Greek, but its meaning and symbolism live on. One fascinating use of Ἒ can be found in ancient Greek literature, where it was often used to signify a pause or hesitation in speech. It was the equivalent of the English "um" or "ah" and was used by characters in plays and stories to indicate a moment of uncertainty or doubt. For example, in Sophocles' "Antigone," the title character uses the word Ἒ in a line of dialogue, suggesting she is hesitant to speak her true thoughts. The letter Ἒ also appears in many ancient Greek philosophical terms, such as Ἒννοια (ennoia), meaning "understanding" or "intellect," and Ἒρως (eros), meaning "love" or "passion." In these contexts, Ἒ is used to represent a sense of unity or integration, as the concepts represented by these words involve the combination of different forces or faculties of the mind. Overall, Ἒ is a truly unique letter that adds depth and meaning to the Greek language and culture. Its shape, sound, and usage all contribute to its intriguing symbolism and linguistic significance. Whether used to indicate hesitation in speech or to represent a complex philosophical concept, Ἒ remains a vital part of the Greek alphabet and its rich history.(この例文はAIにより作成されています。特定の文字を含む文章を出力していますが内容が正確でない場合があります。)
